I'M SUCH A FAILURE!

This summer my boyfriend's mom made me the best fudge I have ever had in my life. So when it was my turn to bake something for work I decided to try and replicate her creation. I got the recipe and began the process. Ten minutes into it I felt like something was wrong so I called her to make sure I was on the right track. She laughed a little then told me that I was doing fine but I needed to keep stirring for about 30 more minutes. 30 minutes!....no way. My arms were so tired that I just stopped. I mean it looked very similar to the what she made all it needed to do was firm up a bit. Only it never did! It looked like, well, diarrhea.

When my mom came home she tried to salvage my poor attempt at making fudge but she over did it and by the time we were done the "fudge" was so hard it sounded like rock candy......and the color....I don't even know where it came from. The sad thing is I just knew I would be great at making fudge. Clearly I was wrong.....lol. I will attempt again, but no time soon.

Take a look at my sad attempt at making fudge

I started out great

But then a turn for the worse. My mom placed foil on it to smooth it out.... bad idea....it got stuck...lol

And this is what we ended up with. A far cry from what it should look like. The funny thing is it still tasted okay....lol
